Question 1180592: You measure 42 randomly selected textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 52 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 14.8 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight.
Give your answers as decimals, to two places Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 99% CI half-interval is z*(0.995)*sigma/sqrt(n)
=2.576*14.8/sqrt(42)
=5.88
that is added to and subtracted from the mean
(46.12, 57.88) units oz.
